The story behind the piece

A piece of Scottish character, made to be worn well and kept for years.

A traditional Scottish wrap, made easy to wear

The Tonag, or guailleachan, has its roots in traditional Scottish dress.

Originally a square of tartan fastened close to the neck and sometimes worn over a shawl, today it makes a wonderfully simple poncho: slip it over your head and let the tartan fall naturally around the shoulders.

It's warm, distinctive and exceptionally easy to wear.

Choose your tartan

Available in hundreds of tartans, your Tonag can carry a family connection or simply be chosen for its colour and character.

Choose a clan or family tartan, your mother's family, a district with meaning to you — or simply the design you most want to wear.

Two sizes

Tonag Bheag — Little Tonag
Approximately 46" × 46" (118 × 118cm)

Tonag Mhor — Large Tonag
Approximately 54" × 54" (137 × 137cm)

The fringed edges provide the traditional finishing touch.

Fine wool tartan

Made from fine wool tartan, the Tonag works equally well over a dress for an occasion or as an easy layer over everyday clothes.

It's unmistakably Scottish without feeling formal — and rather more interesting than reaching for another coat.
